Evidence so far that the El Paso killer was part of a white supremacist group?

I'm not asking if he was a white supremacist; clearly, he is.

But if we're going to analogize to Al Qaeda or ISIL, which seems to be the Hot New Idea, we've gotta be able to name the group.
The thing about Al Q and ISIL and their factions is that these are discrete groups. We can say, with respect to particular individuals, that they are members of the group.

What group was the El Paso killer part of? Is it distinguishable from other communities he was a part of?
Thank you for demonstrating my point. "Let's call the group MAGA" is unserious and counterproductive if your aim is to actually prevent more deaths.
This suggestion at least gets us to a community, as far as 8chan can be said to be a community, that the killer belonged to.

But is it true that all 8chan users are devoted to white supremacy and mass killings? Doubtful.
